Setting cursor at the end of any text of a textbox [duplicate]

I have a text box with a displayed string already in it. To bring the cursor to the textbox I am already doing

txtbox.Focus();

But how do I get the cursor at the end of the string in the textbox ?


Solution 1:

For Windows Forms you can control cursor position (and selection) with txtbox.SelectionStart and txtbox.SelectionLength properties. If you want to set caret to end try this:

txtbox.SelectionStart = txtbox.Text.Length;
txtbox.SelectionLength = 0;

For WPF see this question.

Solution 2:

There are multiple options:

txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.SelectionStart = txtBox.Text.Length;

OR

txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.CaretIndex = txtBox.Text.Length;

OR

txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.Select(txtBox.Text.Length, 0);
